Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 4 medium ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease two 8½” x 4½” loaf pans.
- With an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl and add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl in between each addition.
- Add the mashed banana, sour cream, and vanilla and mix on medium speed to combine. Scrape the bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix on low to fully combine but be sure not to overmix.
- Split the batter between the two prepared loaf pans and bake for 1 hour or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for the sweetest flavor.
- Measure the flour correctly to keep the bread tender.
- Don't overmix the batter or the bread may become dense.
- Let the butter and eggs come to room temperature before mixing.
- Tent the bread loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Cool the bread completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
- Freeze individual slices for quick breakfasts or snacks.
